Missing

Izaya

He could hear Shizu-chan behind him. Izaya laughed as he dodged another vending machine. Shizu-chan was getting so predictable, he moved to the right dodging the signpost. The blond threw another ending machine directly at him, giving Izaya time to dodge. It was easy to get away from the blond. Izaya vaulted over the fence, seconds later hearing Shizu-chan rip the fence down and crash after him.

Izaya felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. Time was up, he had to go back to work. Shizu-chan was still behind him. Izaya smirked. He waved his hand in the air. "It's been fun, Shizu-chan." Izaya moved faster, taking the next corner and leaping onto the fire escape. He quickly climbed, looking down at the blond as Shizu-chan looked around for him. Izaya thought he almost looked relived when the blond couldn't find him. He waited until Shizu-chan had gone, before jumping down the fire escape and making his way back to Shinjuku.

"Namie-san. I'm back did you miss me?" His secretary ignored him. Izaya took of his jacket, making his way to his desk. "It's not nice to ignore me." He mock pouted at her, laughing as Namie turned away in disgust. She never failed to amuse him. Izaya turned on his computer, spinning in his chair as it loaded. Everything was so fun. He stopped spinning as his computer finished loading and quickly logged in, his fingers skimming across the keys.

"I'm leaving." Izaya looked up as Namie left, leaving the still not finished files where they were. "Aw, Namie-san are you leaving me here on my own?" Izaya laughed as she glared at him. "Give my regards to your brother." Izaya watched as she flipped him off, thinking he couldn't see. Ah, she was fun to mess with. He turned back to his computer as the door slammed shut.

Izaya finished his work, logging into the chat room.

-Kanra has entered the chat room-

Kanra:- Good evening.

Tanaka Taro:- Hi Kanra

-Tanaka Taro has entered PM mode-

Oh? Already, what could Mikado-kun want this time?

Tanaka Taro:- Izaya-san, I need some information.

Kanra:- It will cost you.

Tanaka Taro:- I know.

Kanra:- What do you need?

Tanaka Taro:- How do I get in contact with Kishitani Shingen?

Izaya stared at the screen, why would Mikado-kun need that?

Kanra:- That's an odd thing to ask.

Kanra:- Can't you ask Shinra?

Tanaka Taro:- He wouldn't give it to me. Please Izaya-san.

Kanra:- Okay. The payment is that you tell me what you need it for.

He waited for the delayed response.

Tanaka Taro:- I can't tell you now.

Kanra:- That's too bad, Mikado-kun.

Tanaka Taro:- I can tell you when everything is over.

Kanra:- Oh and how long would that be?

Tanaka Taro:- Tomorrow.

Izaya knew Mikado would tell him. He quickly typed the number.

Kanra: Be careful, Mikado-kun. Shingen is not as nice as his son.

Tanaka Taro:- Thank you, Izaya-san.

-Tanaka Taro has left the chat room-

-Kanra has left the chat room-

When it was getting late, Izaya logged off the computer, taking one last look out of the window down at his precious humans. Today was a good day, tomorrow would be even better. He had two more suicidal girls to talk to, Shizu-chan to annoy and his knowledge to increase. He never had enough information, his humans were always changing, always adapting. He could never know everything about them.

The next morning he had already woken up early and showered. After he dressed he bounded down the stairs. Namie was already downstairs, making noise in the kitchen. Izaya returned to his computer, turning it on. "Good morning, Namie-san." His secretary glared at him, probably for being so loud in the morning. She slammed his mug and plate in front of him, before walking away. "You didn't poison it, did you Namie-san?" He wouldn't put it past her, she had tried a few times. His secretary scoffed at him. "Probably wouldn't kill you anyway." Izaya laughed. "So mean Namie-san, You're supposed to love me." Namie smiled at that. "No one loves you."

Izaya made his frequent trip to Ikebukuro. He hadn't spotted any of the main humans he was interested in, not even the monster. That was weird Shizu-chan would always come after him, as soon as he stepped foot in Ikebukuro. Well if Shizu-chan's not coming to see me. Izaya smirked moving through the crowds with ease.

Izaya skipped along the streets, expecting a trash can or vending machine to smash into him. Shizu-chan only managed to hit him with surprise attacks. He observed Shizu-chan's employer Tom, walking on his own. Where was Shizu-chan? Izaya hated that he didn't know the answer. "Tom-san." The dread locked man looked up. "Izaya, what can I do for you?" Izaya gave his usual smile. "I noticed Shizu-chan, isn't with you." Tom nodded. "He didn't turn up for work today. Why do you care Izaya?" The informant thought about it. "I don't Tom, I don't like not having the answers."

It looked like Shizu-chan wasn't wandering around, which meant the blond was at home sick. Now should he go and kill the monster, while he was ill and delusional or wait until he was better. Choices, choices. Izaya reaching into his pocket pulling out his vibrating phone. "Hello Shinra." Izaya, I need a favor. "Oh?" I'm looking for Shizuo. "Isn't he at home?" No my beloved Celty checked, no one's seen him since yesterday evening. "He always was unpredictable." Izaya, I'm worried. Shizuo doesn't just disappear. "Fine, I'll be around shortly." Izaya closed the phone, placing it back in his pocket.

"What is this really about Shinra?" Shinra had let him in and he was currently sitting on the sofa. "I told you, I'm worried about Shizuo." Izaya tilted his head slightly. "Why?" Shinra turned away making him curious. "If you don't tell me, how can I help?" Shinra watched as Celty came in. "Find him?" Celty shook her head, typing on her PDA. Izaya watched Shinra's face drop as he read the screen. "It's probably fine." He was trying to get rid of Izaya. "You're lying Shinra." Why would Izaya help them search for the monster anyway?

"I'll be leaving then." Shinra let him leave and closed the door. Izaya waited before moving to the end of the corridor and sitting on the stairs. Shinra had made him curious. What was it his friend didn't want him to know? Izaya had slipped a bug underneath the cushion. He held the other part of the device. He wouldn't be able to hear Celty, but he would hear everything Shinra said.

This is all my fault. Already it was interesting. I should have known something was wrong. Izaya could here a faint typing sound. I know Celty. But Shizuo asked for my help. I couldn't do it. Why would Shizu-chan need help? You didn't see him as a kid. He was always in pain. I'm not cold enough to make him go through it again. Izaya had read through the monster's medical records, he was in the hospital near enough the whole time when he was a kid. I know Celty, but I can't reverse it. Shizuo doesn't have the usual limiter other humans do. To try and remove Shizuo's strength will put his life in danger.

Shizuo is trying to be normal? Izaya held the device a little closer. No Celty, I'm not the only doctor, but few in Ikebukuro would try insane experiments. Ah Shinra, admitting you're insane. The only ones I know who would do that is Yagiri Pharmaceuticals. That was impossible, Namie was his secretary. He heard a loud groan through the device. No, there is someone else. Celty, I think my dad is back in Ikebukuro. So Shingen had Shizu-chan?

Izaya moved back, where he couldn't be seen. Less than five seconds later, the door slammed open, and the Dullahan rushed past him. "Celty, Don't kill him." Izaya shut the device off, dropping it back in his pocket. He heard the door close. Izaya moved down the stairs the same way Celty had gone. Shinra's crazy dad had Shizu-chan. He had the answers he needed. It had nothing to do with him. He hated the monster. At least now, he could do what he wanted in Ikebukuro. Izaya laughed, no he had helped Shizu-chan. He had told him how to contact Shingen. He had wondered why Mikado had wanted to know.
